Download or read book Takings written by Richard A. Epstein and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If legal scholar Richard Epstein is right, then the New Deal is wrong, if not unconstitutional. Epstein reaches this sweeping conclusion after making a detailed analysis of the eminent domain, or takings, clause of the Constitution, which states that private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation. In contrast to the other guarantees in the Bill of Rights, the eminent domain clause has been interpreted narrowly. It has been invoked to force the government to compensate a citizen when his land is taken to build a post office, but not when its value is diminished by a comprehensive zoning ordinance. Epstein argues that this narrow interpretation is inconsistent with the language of the takings clause and the political theory that animates it. He develops a coherent normative theory that permits us to distinguish between permissible takings for public use and impermissible ones. He then examines a wide range of government regulations and taxes under a single comprehensive theory. He asks four questions: What constitutes a taking of private property? When is that taking justified without compensation under the police power? When is a taking for public use? And when is a taking compensated, in cash or in kind? Zoning, rent control, progressive and special taxes, workers’ compensation, and bankruptcy are only a few of the programs analyzed within this framework. Epstein’s theory casts doubt upon the established view today that the redistribution of wealth is a proper function of government. Throughout the book he uses recent developments in law and economics and the theory of collective choice to find in the eminent domain clause a theory of political obligation that he claims is superior to any of its modern rivals.

Download or read book The Twenty fifth Amendment written by John D. Feerick and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book focuses on the Twenty-Fifth Amendment - its meaning, legislative history, and applications. The Amendment has been criticized for being vague and undemocratic. It has been praised for making possible swift and orderly successions to the presidency and vice presidency upon the occurance of some of the most extraordinary events in American history. Its vice presidential selection feature has been recommended as the best method for selecting all Vice Presidents. The repeal of that feature and the abolition of the vice presidency have also been suggested. Moreover, throughout the Watergate crisis the Amendment was alluded to as affording a means by which a President could transfer Presidential power during an impeachment proceeding, and it was suggested as authorizing a Vice President and Cabinetto suspend, so to speak, a President during the period of impeachment trial before the Senate. Judging by all the attention the Amendment has received and by the number of presidential and vice presidential vacancies and illness which have occurred in our history, one can expect that the Twenty-Fifth Amendment will receive frequent application in the future of our country"--

Download or read book You Have the Right to Remain Innocent written by James J. Duane and published by Little a. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An urgent, compact manifesto that will teach you how to protect your rights, your freedom, and your future when talking to police. Law professor James J. Duane became a viral sensation thanks to a 2008 lecture outlining the reasons why you should never agree to answer questions from the police--especially if you are innocent and wish to stay out of trouble with the law. In this timely, relevant, and pragmatic new book, he expands on that presentation, offering a vigorous defense of every citizen's constitutionally protected right to avoid self-incrimination. Getting a lawyer is not only the best policy, Professor Duane argues, it's also the advice law-enforcement professionals give their own kids. Using actual case histories of innocent men and women exonerated after decades in prison because of information they voluntarily gave to police, Professor Duane demonstrates the critical importance of a constitutional right not well or widely understood by the average American. Reflecting the most recent attitudes of the Supreme Court, Professor Duane argues that it is now even easier for police to use your own words against you. This lively and informative guide explains what everyone needs to know to protect themselves and those they love.

Download or read book The Privilege Against Self Incrimination and Criminal Justice written by Andrew Choo and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-07-18 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The privilege against self-incrimination is often represented in the case law of England and Wales as a principle of fundamental importance in the law of criminal procedure and evidence. A logical implication of recognising a privilege against self-incrimination should be that a person is not compellable, on pain of a criminal sanction, to provide information that could reasonably lead to, or increase the likelihood of, her or his prosecution for a criminal offence. Yet there are statutory provisions in England and Wales making it a criminal offence not to provide particular information that, if provided, could be used in a subsequent prosecution of the person providing it. This book examines the operation of the privilege against self-incrimination in criminal proceedings in England and Wales, paying particular attention to the influence of the European Convention on Human Rights and the Human Rights Act 1998. Among the questions addressed are how the privilege might be justified, and whether its scope is clarified sufficiently in the relevant case law (does the privilege apply, for example, to pre-existing material?). Consideration is given where appropriate to the treatment of aspects of the privilege in Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, the USA and elsewhere.
Download or read book Unable written by Brian C. Kalt and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the election of President Donald Trump, the Twenty-Fifth Amendment to the Constitution - covering presidential incapacity - has been a frequent topic of public discussion. But few understand how this amendment really works. Unable: The Law, Politics, and Limits of Section 4 of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment explains, in Part I, the basics of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, especially Section 4, correcting common misconceptions, and resolving some of its ambiguities. Part II explores history: presidential disability before Section 4; the creation of Section 4 in 1965; the (non)use of Section 4 since then; and Section 4's portrayal in movies, books, and television. Part III presents a series of hypothetical scenarios that dramatize how Section 4 would work - or not work - in a wide variety of situations. Part IV concludes with some thoughts on how Section 4 interacts with constitutional law more generally, and some suggestions on how to improve Section 4's operation. Unable is designed to educate and inform the public about Section 4 and the Twenty-Fifth Amendment in an even-handed and accessible way, allowing readers to judge for themselves whether presidents - past and present - were or are fit to serve in office.
Download or read book Time Is Ticking written by VIE Loriot de Rouvray and published by Extension of Mind and Conciousness. This book was released on 2024-01-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time is Ticking: The Fifth Amendment is a conspiracy theory thriller written by a French American author and descendant of the French aristocracy. CHADD, a Baker Acted, drugged up ward of the state, holds the keys to the Divine wisdom and with VIE brings humanity into the light of God just when it all seems lost. But all of this was a threat to the Anunnaki who wanted earth for themselves. So they manipulated the story of Christ in order to be successful with the takeover of earth. A never ending battle of good and evil, the modern world is a literal and figurative warzone. The straightest path to the truth is to expose all information that is officially forbidden. The secret government controls the population through false information. Christ was a healer, He worked with the emotional body, and He resurrected from the dead. The church stripped away the virility of Christ by hiding His true relationship with Mary Magdalene, and the male was emasculated and the female denied. Illuminati are in key power places and all institutions are corrupted. Their agenda is to reduce the population and to manipulate humanity, keeping them under their control through drugs, flu, antibiotic shots, implanted diseases, weather catastrophes, and wars. The Thuggees medical doctors from India reincarnated. They keep CHADD, by court orders, in drugs and in a foggy state between mental hospitals and an asylum. They shot him with dangerous drugs, brainwashed, programed, then manipulate him, beat him, steal from him, deprive him of all his rights to a fair trial and freedom in the land of freedom. They sent an Asian couple to steel the Vajra from VIE. Time is Ticking: The Fifth Amendment is a fascinating historical and mesmerizing adventure that includes the return of Jesus and Mary Magdalene to demonstrate the path of oneness and Divine love. Awaken new frequencies within one's being, defragment old programming that no longer serves so that humanity can embrace the Light and Sound of creation to expand consciousness. Christ delivered His bloodline, His star codes, through the Goddess (Mary Magdalene), and he brought the instrument of ultimate creativity that could transmute human violence-"the Eucharist," True Christ. This book is about bringing a powerful message to the world and about the matrix and the ascension process to reach the golden age with warnings and future predictions that you may not want to hear, but have to hear it. Once you remember your multidimensionality, then Christ will awaken in you. And it is time! The golden age is within reach.
